Complete question:

A diver is 10 m below the surface of water. Calculate the pressure the fluid exerted on the diver. The acceleration of gravity is 9.8 m/s2 and the density of the water is 1000 kg/m3. Answer in units of Pa. Show your work.

Tthe pressure the fluid exerted on the diver is 1.99 x 10⁵ Pa

Explanation:

Given;

density of water, ρ = 1000 kg/m³

diver's position below the surface of the water, h = 10 m

acceleration due to gravity, g = 9.8 m/s²

Let the atmospheric pressure, P₀ = 101325 Pa

The pressure 10 m below the surface of the water is calculated as;

P =  P₀  + ρgh

P = 101325 Pa  +  (1000 x 9.8 x 10)Pa

P = 199325 Pa

P = 1.99 x 10⁵ Pa.

Therefore, the pressure the fluid exerted on the diver is 1.99 x 10⁵ Pa
